Frequently Asked Questions

What industries does your Tampa CPA firm specialize in?

Banking and financial institutions, employee benefit plans, insurance, nonprofit organizations, manufacturing, securities broker-dealers, and public companies. Our work in these sectors goes back decades.

Do banks need a specialized CPA firm?

Yes. Banks operate under strict requirements from the OCC, FDIC, and state banking authorities. A generalist firm may not have the technical depth to navigate call report accuracy, regulatory capital, or bank-specific GAAP. We have served Florida financial institutions since 1974.

Can you help with multi-state tax filings?

Yes. Our team handles multi-state compliance including apportionment, nexus analysis, and state-specific filing requirements for organizations operating beyond Florida.

Do you provide IRS audit representation?

Yes. We assist with IRS audit defense, documentation review, and response strategies, and represent clients throughout the audit process to minimize exposure and ensure compliance. If you want to understand what commonly triggers an IRS audit, see our guide to common audit triggers.

What is an employee benefit plan audit?

An independent examination of a company’s retirement or benefit plan (such as a 401(k)) required by the Department of Labor when a plan has 100 or more eligible participants. It verifies that financial statements are accurate and assets are managed in compliance with ERISA and IRS regulations. We perform both limited and full scope audits.

What is a GAAP audit and why does it matter?

An independent review of financial statements conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. For regulated organizations, GAAP-compliant audited financials are required by regulators, lenders, and investors, signaling financial integrity to all stakeholders. Learn more about what a GAAP audit is and whether your organization needs one.

What is a nonprofit Single Audit?

Required for organizations that expend $750,000 or more in federal awards in a fiscal year, it examines both the financial statements and compliance with the specific requirements of federal programs. We perform Federal and Florida State Single Audits for nonprofits across Tampa Bay.

How much does a CPA cost for regulated organizations?

Fees vary based on the type of engagement, organizational size, and complexity. A financial statement audit for a regulated entity typically ranges from $10,000 to $50,000 or more depending on scope. Tax services for businesses and benefit plans are generally priced separately. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to schedule a consultation so we can assess your specific requirements.

How do I switch to your firm from another CPA?

We request prior workpapers, coordinate directly with your previous firm, and onboard your financial data securely, with no gaps in service. Most transitions are seamless.
